As autumn approaches we return south of the border to reap the fruits of the ever prolific Dark Fidelity Hi Fi.

Fresh from his "Beautiful Fragments" album, back in March, the inimitable producer returns with part two of the story in the form of "Migration Of The Meaning".

An atmospheric lesson in the meeting of electronics and live instrument sampling that does it best to once again defy any category or genre.

This new album flickers between the signature DFHF sounds of whispered melodics, hovering synths and warm analogue dubs whilst flirting with a new cerebral approach that allows the sound palettes to evolve into shimmering tonal landscapes full of minimal but dreamy horizons. Music that will glow in the shadows or the light.

Multi-layered fine details and the focus on small movements to create aural travelogues give us a peek into the cinema of the mind of DFHF during his search for the "meaning". It's meandering and still at the same time in there but more importantly it's glistening and evolving.

Four years ago, the California based musician r beny came on the radar with numerous videos on youtube and instagram in which he explored the world of tape and sound synthesis. You could easily see his music growing and pretty soon he came to the fore as a master in modular synthesis. 

This culminated in several solo releases and live shows (e.g. with Bing & Ruth, Suzanne Ciani). Herein, r beny, clearly showed his capacities to combine detailed and fragile melodies with subtle textures in order to create sonic narratives with a highly emotional character.
 
“Echo's Verse” forms no exception on that regard and continues along the same melancholic lines of his previous work. However, whereas the initial albums were much more centred around feelings of loneliness, isolation and solitude, the new album clearly moves away from a sole focus on sad and distressing emotions. “Echo's Verse” touches the other side of the spectrum as it is about emotional connections, bonds and not feeling alone in the universe.

“Echo's Verse” will be out on May 15th on heavyweight clear vinyl* and comes with original handprinted artwork by Femke Strijbol. In addition to the regular version, there will also be a special edition (30 copies) including a unique 1-minute tape loop alongside the record.
